From a realistic perspective, this news is not a big deal. It is nothing more than a few people defecting. The robbed spacecraft is just a civilian spacecraft and has no ability to sail far away. For human civilization, as long as it launches a search and touches several small spacecraft, it only takes a few days to arrest these criminals.

But what Xiao Yun was worried about was not this. What Xiao Yun cares about was that these criminals had a bad idea, and the restless people who later existed in human civilization might be inspired by this behavior and follow these criminals. Since they were following the example, their preparations would inevitably be much more sufficient than these criminals who fled in a hurry, that is, they are likely to succeed.

This is what Xiao Yun is most worried about. At the same time, Xiao Yun is also very clear that it is not just himself who is worried about this. Many people, the head of state, the head of state think tank, and some outstanding people in civilizations are aware of this. But everyone is like Xiao Yun, who have no choice but to do anything about it. Because this is the general trend and is determined by the instinct of human beings, and no one can change it. They can only pray like Xiao Yun, that human civilization can find a glimmer of vitality before things change irreversible.

Silently sighed, Xiao Yun turned off the community and came to the cliff again. But today, before Xiao Yun could enter deep thoughts, the computer he carried with him vibrated. Xiao Yun turned on, and General Emerk's figure appeared in the picture.

"Xiao Yun." General Emerk said bluntly, "We will conduct a military exercise tomorrow, and I hope you can participate."

"Acting?" Xiao Yun was a little confused.

"Yes." General Emerk nodded, "I hope this acting will give you a clear understanding of the power we can grasp at this moment. I think this may be helpful to your subsequent work."

"I understand." Xiao Yun nodded, "I will go to the capital city tomorrow."

For the current human civilization, the so-called military exercises will naturally not be the mutual attack and defense of the ground troops. As human civilization enters the space age, this ground attack and defense tactic has long been eliminated, and at most it is just an auxiliary means of modern interstellar wars.

Military exercises in the space age were naturally carried out in space. However, the military strength of the autonomous government is far inferior to the fugitive government, so the scope of this military exercise organized by General Emerk is limited to the Earth-Moon System. Not to mention long-range wars across the star system, even the orbit of Mars has not reached the Martian orbit. The reason is very simple. The old-fashioned elimination spacecraft owned by the autonomous government does not have the ability to sail long distances, and the logistics supply capacity of the autonomous government at this moment cannot support a war that requires long-range navigation.

The next morning, Xiao Yun drove the aircraft to the capital city on his own and met with General Emerk here. Xiao Yun also met an old acquaintance, Dink, who was responsible for the development of smallpox virus.

Dink did not leave the earth either. Xiao Yun had always known about this, but the two had never met each other.

"The development of smallpox virus has taken all my efforts. I must see the smallpox virus raging in the robot group with my own eyes," Dink said to Xiao Yun, "This is the common wish of me and the entire team I led at the beginning."

"Your wish will come true, sure." Xiao Yun nodded gently.

General Emerk is Xiao Yun's most staunch supporter, and Xiao Yun has always been in charge of the matter of fighting the robot group. Therefore, whether to use smallpox virus to fight the robot group is in the hands of Xiao Yun.

Dink said: "I take this as your commitment to me."

Xiao Yun said: "Yes."

Dink's expression suddenly relaxed, as if Dink had nothing else to care about except this.

General Emerk finished the arrangement at this time, so he took Xiao Yun and Dink to the space base in the orbit of the earth. This military exercise will be completed with this command center.

There was a huge display screen in front of General Emerk, and there was all the information about the spaceship participating in the performance. General Emerk pointed to the screen and said, "This is all the military power we have now."

"We have ten Everest-class warships, two hundred Taishan-class warships, three thousand medium-sized combat spacecraft, twenty thousand small combat spacecraft and micro-motorized spacecraft." General Emerk said, "Of course, these levels are divided only by size and tonnage, and their technological content is much worse than previous spacecraft of the same class."

"Our exercise is based on defensive counterattack as the main strategy. We simulated the scene where the vanguard of the robot group came to the Earth-Moon System. In this case, we will rely on the Earth and the Moon, as well as the space bases in the Earth-Moon System, and launch spacecraft to kill and damage the enemy with all their strength while trying to save ourselves as much as possible."

When General Emerk was explaining to Xiao Yun, a soldier with gray hair and a little hunched figure, but still struggling to stand up straight came in. He saluted General Emerk first, and then said: "General, the participating departments have been assembled and prepared, and the acting can begin."

General Emerk nodded: "I order, the exercise begins."

"Yes!" The elderly soldier saluted again, then turned around and left the command room.

After the elderly soldier left, General Emerk said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that my guard regiment would be served by some people older than me..."

Xiao Yun and Dingke looked at each other, their expressions a little sad.

The exercise has begun. With General Emerk's explanation and rendering of real-time combat images, Xiao Yun and Dink also have some understanding of the various processes of the exercise.

Xiao Yun saw the miniature motorized spacecraft playing the robot legion roaring from outside the Earth and Moon system. Xiao Yun saw the old spacecraft that had long lost their color and looked dilapidated and clumsyly took off from the base, and then arranged formations in space, coordinated, shot, returned to defense, and trimmed...

In space, artillery fire roared, spacecraft roamed, commands were sent out from the command room, and radio signals were shuttled through the earth-moon system... The battle was going fiercely, but... even if Xiao Yun was an outsider and didn't know about the war, Xiao Yun could see that this battle was a bit awkward. But there was no way to tell where it was.

If you have to describe it, it feels like watching two children fighting.

General Emerk seemed to have noticed Xiao Yun's feelings, so General Emerk spread his hands: "There is no way, let a group of middle-aged and elderly people who have never been exposed to war in the past fly a spaceship to fight after several months of training... This is really difficult for them. In fact, it is beyond my expectations that they can do this."

"They trained very hard," General Emerk said quietly. "In the past, the young people were not as hard as they trained. But...but..."

General Emerk shook his head and sighed, "But" the words afterwards were not spoken.

"Only General Emerk, you can do this in just a few months. You are the best military commander, and no one can deny this." Xiao Yun said.

General Emerk did not take over Xiao Yun's words, but said directly: "Xiao Yun, look, this is the military power we have at this stage. Moreover, in addition to improving combat skills, we basically have no room for improvement in hardware."

"According to the Escaped Government's estimates, the Robot Legion will come to the solar system within about three to five years, with the upper limit of five years. That is to say, we will have at most four and a half years, and at least, it will only have two and a half years. Then... General Emerk, how long can our military forces block the enemy by that time? How many enemies can we fight against?"

General Emerk calculated silently and said, "In two and a half years, I am sure to rely on our military power to destroy eight million robots. In four and a half years, this number can rise to ten million units. However, if the number of enemies increases to twenty million units, we can only take a complete defensive and can defend about three months. If the number increases to one hundred million units, we will be captured within one day."

Xiao Yun nodded, then looked at Dink: "Dink, I ask you, how lethal is the smallpox virus that you transformed to the robot legion now?"

Dink said: "The lethality of smallpox virus on the robot legion will decrease with time. In other words, the lethality of smallpox virus is the greatest when it is released. Later, as the robot develops its own evolution and enters the stage of fighting with smallpox virus, the lethality of smallpox virus will plummet. But one thing is that any robot that is infected with smallpox virus but has not died will have a certain degree of combat effectiveness. This is because they have to distribute certain computing power to fight smallpox virus."

"What is the specific lethality?"

Dink hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Give me two years, I can transform the smallpox virus to the point where the first batch of lethality reaches 80%, and then the combat power of the surviving robot is weakened by at least 40%.
